“Eventhough the music you can hear in our station often sounds similar to music marked as ‘Inteligent Dance Music’. In most cases our radio isn’t quite dancable, and it’s less extreme.

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009
The past few years have been some of the most challenging of my life - new house, new job, new family. All of which have been very rewarding and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. On top of all of this, I’ve been trying to finish grad school.
It has taken a while to get through these last few steps. Today I completed the oral defense of the Doctoral Qualifying Exam. Although this isn’t the end, I feel that a weight has been lifted and I’m happy to have this behind me. The dissertation lies ahead and beyond that, deciding what to do with it all.
Nevertheless, I am relieved to be moving forward and want to thank those close to me for their support and encouragement over the years.
